The Preface by Lieut.-General George MacMunn says 

"This account of the early merchant adventurers, whose daring and endurance finally brought about the great British-Indian Empire, has been compiled from obscure and often inaccessible sources, or rescued from old records by Mr. Charles Grey of Lahore. Mr. Grey has spent most of his years in the East, and the story of the early adventurers, merchants, pirates, and soldiers of fortune he has made peculiarly his own, and has indeed some of their blood in his veins, and their example in his own life. My share in this volume has but been in arranging his material in convenient form for the press".

"The Company of Merchant Adventurers of London Trading into the East Indies" (page 7) later became known as the East India Company (EIC) (also known as the Honourable East India Company HEIC).

Elsewhere, Charles Grey is stated to have retired to Lahore from the North-Western Railway in 1918.  A burial record for Charles Thomas Grey indicates he died  at Lahore 7 June 1945  aged 82.
